VTA or Recirculate more?

Aps bov I can "Unloosening the nut and turning the screw to the right will make it recirculate more and vta less" my bov is on my upper ic pipe. I flutter at low mid rpms. Should i turn right to recirculate more or left for vta?

i dont think aps would send a spring that didnt work or have to take out like the greddy..plus a ****ty spring would cause it to stall or get close

Flutter, at least on my Type-S means that it is too tight.

it would make sense that it would need tightened if it flutters because it opens too easily

sorry to hijack but I have a question about your aps bov. When it is cold does it make more fluttering noise? Mine does until it warms up. Do you need to lube these bov's?

well i just put it in last week..always got a flutter until now..i loosened the top screw which made it loosen the bolt i think..its bolt is about half and inch give or take a few out from the top... so i took it for a test drive and it pushed air great no matter what i did ..WOT ..tapping on gas ..half rpming it....so i guess you want to to recirculate a little more...it did one small flutter out of the 10-12 times i pushed the car and that was a small one from small tap on the gas

flutter is when it's too tight or too lose ...flutters both ways

is he recirculating or truely venting to air? i prefer recirculation until more mods are under the belt
